Winner of the platinum medal at the Paris Kura Master 2021 sake competition, this full-bodied sake is made from Koshitanrei rice grown according to the permaculture system of Sado Island. As the name suggests, this sake is neither filtered (“muroka”) nor has water (“genshu”) been added and has aromas of Lectier pear, lychee and melon.
About the Obata Brewery
Founded in 1892, Obata is known for taking great care in brewing its sakes and sparing no effort. In particular, its brewers disregard the winter holidays and prefer to stay on site and work from early morning. For the rice, in particular, the company is in partnership with Aida Rice Farming and its oyster shell-based agriculture: the water irrigating the rice fields passes through filters made of oyster shells that provide nutrients and micro-organisms. This practice greatly reduces the use of chemical fertilisers and has impressed 3-star French chef Christopher Coutanceau for its environmental qualities.
Obata’s sakes, characterised by their clarity and elegant umami, are not only recognised at home, but are also praised abroad, where they regularly win medals at the French Kura Master competition and the British International Wine Challenge. They are also among the spirits selected by Air France for first and business class flights.
Since 2014, the company has also had a second building: an abandoned school that has been converted into a sake brewery. This school-brewery has become the ideal place for brewery apprentices, among whom there are now many foreigners.
